Dungeness Crab are Special

Dungeness crab have the highest ratio of meat to body weight of all popular crabs. Their meat is sweet and flavorful, delicious hot or cold, or in salads or crab cakes.

The Dungeness Crab from Fishermen Direct are always super fresh. The partner boats fish for Dungeness, and if the weather is too rough to fish, we have live tanks that hold our crab so that you always get super tasting crab, never old.

Our live tanks are chilled to keep the crabs happy and their meat firm, with special biologial filtration to remove the ammonia given off by the crab as a natural part of their life cycle. These live tanks are expensive and unusual in the industry, but assure you that the crab you get is abolutely sweet and flavorful.

Scott's presence remains strong at Fishermen Direct. Every piece of fish that is sold has Scott's mark on it in many ways. Scott was behind the refrigeration, and the packaging, and the smoking, and the canning, and the displays, and the shipping methods. Scott was the inspiration for many things.
